Watch live coverage as SpaceX launches a Falcon 9 rocket carrying the first five operational satellites for AST SpaceMobile’s in-orbit cellular service. Each BlueBird satellite has a communications array measuring 693 square feet. Liftoff from Space Launch Complex 40 at Cape Canaveral Space Force Station is scheduled during a four-hour window that opens at 4:52 a.m. EDT (0852 UTC) on Thursday, Sept. 5. The first-stage booster, making its 13th flight, will return to a landing at Cape Canaveral’s Landing Zone 1, about eight and a half minutes after leaving the launch pad. Commentary will be provided by Spaceflight Now's Will Robinson-Smith, starting approximately an hour prior to liftoff. Videos like this are made possible by the support of our members.
